Three network stations, WTOC-TV, WTGS and WJCL, transmit from the same tower site about 35 miles east of Glennville (76° ENE). Aim there first: one setting covers all of them.

Of the 4 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Glennville at fair strength or better, all arrive from the east, so this is an easy place to aim.

All of the main network towers are within their radio horizon as seen from Glennville, so signals arrive fairly directly and a well-placed antenna should hold them steadily.

Antenna and amplifier advice for Glennville

The farthest main network tower for Glennville is WJCL (ABC), 36 miles away with a good estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Skip that station and you may get away with a smaller antenna.

An amplifier only helps here if you run a long cable (over about 50 feet) or split the antenna to several TVs. Otherwise better placement does more. See the amplifier guide.
